No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 460

Chapter 460
After all, it was undeniable that Jack knew about the bribery but did not report it.
There were witness statements and material evidence. Even if the Fowlers caught Madelyn and proved that she was the one who betrayed the Fowler family, it would mean nothing.
Because it was the truth.
It was not made up.
“It’s better to be safe than sorry. Don’t underestimate the Fowler family. They’re one of the few elite corporations in Stormton City. The Fowler Corporation is still quite influential. Not to mention that Jack has seven outstanding sons. Jack may be old, but he’s still alive and has his sons to back him up. Now is the best time to acquire Fowler Corporation. Don’t complicate matters.”
“I understand, Dad. I’ll arrange for Madelyn to leave the country as soon as possible.”
“All right.”
When Anna woke up, it was already noon the next day.
The first thing Anna did when she woke up was to look for her son.
To prevent Anna from getting too emotional and losing control of herself like she did yesterday, the doctor let Henry in to see Anna. The doctor only allowed him to enter.
Henry walked in and held Anna’s hand. “****.”
This time, Anna’s **********state was much better. Her voice was not as weak as when she had just woken up yesterday. “Is there any news from Madelyn?”
Henry shook his head. “No. I’m afraid Crown Group is protecting her.”
“The Laton family will surely think of a way to erase Madelyn’s identity and send her overseas secretly. I’m afraid they will do it in the next few days. If we don’t hurry… We won’t be able to catch Madelyn in this lifetime.”
“I know, *********. I’ll get my subordinates to do their best to find Madelyn. No matter what, I won’t let Madelyn betray our family and disappear without a trace.”
However, after calming down, he realized that because Madelyn was protected by the Crown Group, their chances of finding her in just a few days were slim.
Henry knew it without even thinking.
Now, Henry was already exhausted. Fowler Corporation was about to be annexed by Crown Group. There were all kinds of internal strife among the Fowler Corporation’s shareholders. No one knew how many people had switched sides to join the Crown Group. Although Anna had woken up from her coma, she was still hospitalized. Other than the fact that Jack was imprisoned for accepting the bribe, countless rumors were still spreading like wildfire online…
In light of these matters, finding Madelyn now seemed so insignificant. Even if they found Madelyn, they could not prove Jack’s innocence. These accusations were true. Jack knew about it.
“By the way, Henry, where’s your father? Can you see him? Can you bail him out first?”
“No… ***********, I’ve thought about it. Only our lawyers can see Dad. They can’t even bail him out. Crown Group had come prepared this time. Madelyn provided Crown Group with information about the Fowler Corporation’s bribery and the testimony of the person whom the Fowler Corporation fired. We can’t bail Dad out. Dad has been silent ever since he went to prison. I’ve spoken to him through my lawyer. He wants to bear all the consequences of this incident himself after we leave the country safely…”
Henry felt unprecedentedly tired after saying this.
It was as if everything was written in stone.
He could not change the outcome.
Anna could not help but tear up. “Jack… How could you be so *************? Henry, you must find the best lawyer to help your father with the lawsuit. I know there’s no more turning back. But at the very least, you shouldn’t let Dad stay in jail for too long…”
“I will, ************. Our lawyer said that if the other party’s evidence is too overwhelming, the best thing to do now is for Dad to confess and tell the truth. The lawyer will also fight for the shortest sentence on Dad’s behalf.”
“Okay. Good. We’ll leave as soon as we’ve settled the paperwork for going abroad. We won’t stay here and continue to bother you and your father. I know… We’re just a burden to you now. Henry, you’ve been working so hard recently…”
Anna caressed Henry’s face. Her heart ached. He looked at Henry’s Bloodshot eyes. The corners of his eyes were bruised, and his face was gaunt. He did not even have time to shave. He looked as if he had experienced much of life’s hardships and had suddenly ***********ten years. She could hardly recognize him as the high-spirited, handsome, and ***********youngster she once knew.
Jack was imprisoned, and Anna was in such a sorry state.
Henry, their eldest son, was now the only person in the Fowler family who could bear all this. Everyone placed their hopes on Henry and prayed that he could turn the tables..
They had forgotten…
That Henry was just a 26-year-old boy.
His life had just begun, and he had yet to experience many beautiful things. But he was already forced to go through such unbearable suffering, one after another. He had to shoulder such a huge responsibility.
Anna’s heart was aching terribly for her sensible and capable eldest son.
Those adjectives were also a shackle that bound Henry, preventing him from doing what he wanted to do freely. Isn’t the Fowler family a prison in itself, shackling him to them? Would he become the Fowler family’s *************for the rest of his life?
If only Henry had the chance. If only he were not the eldest son, he would also choose to be willful and pursue his dream.
He would not be handling the defeat of the Fowler family. Once, they had looked so supreme and honorable in the eyes of outsiders.
Recently, too many things happened to the Fowler family.
The Fowlers had been dealt so many heavy blows. One of their own had even betrayed them…
They were exhausted. Truly exhausted.
This was the first time Anna hated Stormton City so much.
It was where Anna and Jack had countless beautiful memories together, and for most of their lives, they had worked so hard in this city.
After leaving for Meridonia this time, Anna never wanted to come back.
There were too many unbearable and heartbreaking memories in this place.
In just one year, the Fowler family’s life changed drastically.
There was no more going back.
“***********…”
Listening to Anna’s heartfelt words, Henry could see how much she wanted to comfort him.
Henry finally could not take it anymore and burst into tears.
He threw himself into Anna’s arms and cried without restraint, just like when he wanted to cry as a little boy.
Henry had indeed been exhausted lately.
However, Henry did not dare to show it to anyone.
Not in front of his brother, uncle, or those company shareholders.
Once he revealed his weakness, all hope would be shattered.
Henry chose to shoulder the weight of it all by himself.
He did not want to bring any more pressure on the people he cared about.
However, only now did Henry realize… just how small the limit of a person’s ability was.
It was so small that it was negligible.
Henry could not possibly shoulder all of this.
He was so tired. He was almost out of breath from the stress. He felt he was going to **********.
Now, Henry finally found a way to vent his emotions. He could cry in front of his mother and vent his sadness. He could finally let go of his burdens.
“You can let it all out, Henry. I’m sorry… I’m so sorry… ***********and this family have let you down… We’ve pushed you too hard…”
As a mother, the only thing Anna could do now was to comfort her eldest son, even though her heart ached for him terribly.
Other than that, Anna could not do anything. She could not do anything….
A few days passed by in the blink of an eye.
Late at night…
Madelyn was brought to the port.
“Get on board, Miss Madelyn. We’ll arrive in Ruburg in a few days. At that time, Mr. Laton will arrange for someone to pick you up and give you a new identity. You’ll be provided with an identity card from Ruburg. You’ll have a brand new life.”
“I got it.”
Madelyn had already discussed the details with Chester.
With a yearning for a better life in the future, Madelyn boarded the ship.
The ship headed toward Ruburg.
On the calm sea under the moonlight, Madelyn’s heart was filled with longing for a beautiful life in the future.
The waiter on the ship brought her a steaming cup of coffee.
Madelyn drank it without any precaution.
She was about to admire the sea view under the moonlight.
Gradually, Madelyn felt very sleepy.
She went to her cabin.
Soon, she fell asleep.
Little did she know…
The ship suddenly changed its direction.
The place she was going to… was not Ruburg.
It was Stormton City.
The next day, at 10 p.m…
All the Fowler family members in the hospital who were preparing for Anna’s discharge tomorrow suddenly received a mysterious message.
It was the coordinates of an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Stormton City.
It would take about two hours to drive there.
Coincidentally, the six sons of the Fowler family were gathered together. Seeing the same message on each other’s phones, they frowned. “What’s going on?”
Henry stared at the message carefully. His intuition told him that this was not a coincidence. Finally, Henry seemed to have thought of something. “Is it Jane?”
“What? Henry, are you saying… Jane sent us this message?”
“There’s no mistake about it. This signature… is Jane’s favorite.”
Once upon a time, Henry knew Jane the best. She was Queen, his teacher. He immediately noticed this detail.
This was a secret code that only Queen and H.F. of the Darknet knew.
The reason why Jane sent such a message to the Fowlers was to hide her identity. Was she trying to send him a signal?
The six sons looked at each other.
They chose to head to those coordinates, even if it pointed to **********.
Jane had taken the initiative to send them this message.
They had no choice but to investigate.
“Wait. I’ll go, too.”
When Anna heard that it was a message from Jane, she could not care about anything else. She struggled to get up from the bed.
“***********, you…”
“If it’s Jane, I have to go. I want to see what she’s up to. This time, I won’t run anymore. If none of you will bring me there, I’ll crawl over if I have to.”
Anna’s gaze was intense.
She was determined not to give up until she achieved her goal.
When Henry and the others saw Anna’s gaze, they knew that there was no point in trying to dissuade her.
“Alright. **********, we’ll protect you. Let’s go see Jane together.”
When Madelyn woke up again…
She found it a little strange.
“Why… is it so dark?”
Madelyn wanted to get up and turn on the lights.
However, she realized that she could not move.
The darkness in front of her was not because there was no light.
Instead, it was because Madelyn’s head was covered by a black cloth.
Everything felt so real. From how her body lacked the strength to the wind blowing past her skin.
It was not a dream.
This was reality.
“What’s going on? What on earth happened!”
Madelyn could not move at all. She could only shout.
The next second…
Madelyn’s hood was removed.
Because of the sudden light, Madelyn could not open her eyes. She kept crying.
After her eyes gradually adapted to the light, she could see the person before her.
At that **************, Madelyn’s heart turned cold.
“It’s you… Jane…”
Who else could it be but Jane?
Madelyn instinctively felt a wave of fear. She struggled with all her might. “Jane, why are you here? Am I not in Ruburg? Let go of me! Let go of me right now.”
“Because… Madelyn, you haven’t paid off what you owe me. How could you leave just like that? No way. Do you know where this is?”
Jane’s eyes gradually turned cold.
“Jane, I never crossed you. The ones who hurt you are the Fowler family. It has nothing to do with me. Let me go, okay? From now on, you’ll go your way, and I’ll go mine. We’ll have nothing to do with each. other.”
Madelyn begged Jane hysterically.
Without the memories of her previous life, Madelyn naturally would not know….
This warehouse was where Madelyn had planned to **********Jane in her previous life. She wanted Jane to
burn to death.
The Fowlers had hurt Jane terribly. She had to get her revenge…
It meant that Madelyn could not escape her punishment.
Everyone who owed Jane in her previous life would have to pay her back one by one in this life.
“You’re noisy.”
Jane slapped Madelyn hard a few times.
Slap! Slap!
Madelyn’s face instantly swelled horribly.
She could only look at Jane in horror.
She was scared to speak again, afraid she would anger Jane and be slapped again.
Now that she fell into Jane’s hands, she was like a sitting duck.
Madelyn felt extremely bleak about her future.
She did not know how she got there. Chester had arranged everything, and even the Fowlers could not find her. She had hidden everything so well.
How could Jane catch Madelyn?
“I know you’re confused, Madelyn, but you should understand that you must pay me back. If you can leave this place alive tonight, I won’t hold you responsible for anything. I’ve changed the rules of the game. I hope you can show me what you’re capable of.”
Jane clapped her hands as soon as she finished speaking.
Before Madelyn could react…
Two figures rushed over, punching and kicking Madelyn.
Madelyn could not believe what she was seeing.
Because Madelyn knew the people who attacked her. She knew them well.
They were Madelyn’s biological father, Miguel, and her biological sister, Justine.
“You ***************! How dare you hire an assassin to***********me? Go *************yourself.”
Every punch Miguel landed was fatal. Justine did not hold back, either. With a ferocious expression, she kicked Madelyn hard.
She kicked Madelyn until Madelyn screarned incessantly.
“Stop hitting. Miguel, Justine…”
Charlotte, who was hiding at the back, could not bear to watch anymore. She knelt before Jane and cried, “Jane, please spare us. We swear to disappear completely and never appear before you or
***********again.”
Jane did not respond to Charlotte. She just snapped her fingers.
Snap.
